I initially stayed at this hotel with high expectations because I saw their description stating that the hotel had recently been renovated, so I thought it should be quite nice. Unfortunately, aside from its prime location, the hotel’s facilities are truly disappointing. In the room, I found blood stains and hair on the bed linens, pillows, and blankets! The soundproofing is also extremely poor! Even when other guests entered their rooms, you could clearly hear their conversations. Just imagine how loud the sounds must have been during their discussions! I generally fall asleep easily, but at this hotel, I was repeatedly woken up by the noise! It disrupted my family's sleep the entire night, and even when we did manage to fall asleep, we were quickly woken up again! This led to headaches the next day, making it an incredibly painful experience. Thankfully, we only stayed for one night. (P.S. Their parking lot is an open-air outdoor parking area.) On a positive note, I must mention that the housekeeping staff were very polite and eager to help. However, I do believe the hotel's soundproofing and other facilities need significant improvement, as they are really poor. If you are considering staying at this hotel, I would recommend you think carefully before booking, as I personally would not recommend it.

The perfect stay. Absolutely perfect.
My sisters and I had a great time at Strathcona. It’s in the heart of downtown, so we were able to walk to and from all of our destinations. There’s a recall, 7/11, and mall across the street which proved convenient. We came back to the hotel to take naps between activities and meals! Our room and bathroom was bigger than the photos entailed, and for such a good price. They even made up for my poor packing by providing extra toothbrushes, conditioner, shaving kits, and umbrellas for free! The front desk ladies were so kind, the hotel was beautiful and clean and quiet, I loved it.
